and the house speaker john boehner says that he's open to it if the benefits are paid for, i know you have been opposed to it in the past, but if his conditions are met, can you support the extension? >> well, i think what's really call is to have an economy that doesn't have jobs in it, so we have to talk about what policy creates jobs. with regards to unemployment insurance, i'm not opposed to that, i'm opposed to having it without paying for it. i think it's wrong to borrow money from china. i'm not against having unemployment insurance. i do think, though, the longer you have it, it provides dis disencentive to work. there are many studies indicate this. we have to figure out to create jobs and keep people from becoming long-term unemployed. >> but are you saying now, that if this extension is paid for you could support it? >> well, what i have always said it needs to be paid more, but we also have to do something for long-term unemployed people. and that is, we need to create something new that creates job. what i would like to do, when we get back, if we extend it, we pay for it

john boehner is the key player in all of this. in his home district 63% thinks there should be an extension. is he representing the people's views? it's about time boehner started speaking to his own krae constituents. we have trains and planes and schedules disrupted. we have this thing called wind chill. 50 below this morning in detroit. i've never done the weather before. i kind of like this. here it is from north dakota all the way past chicago to detroit, we are below zero. we know these states don't have people who are losing their unemployment benefits. this is where it is cruel. no one can control the weather. not everybody can control their employment situation. not only can't we stop the wind from blowing, but we can't stop the republicans from being heartless and cruel. we need to be taking certainly some special measurements to help people who have been unemployed for a long time. it's not just extending the benefits another 90 days. it's dealing with an economic problem in this country that is income inequality. where

boehner's districts, showing that voters in those districts by large majorities support extending these unemployment benefits. do you expect to see more tactics like that, this event at the white house, do you expect the democrats to keep pushing in those directions on this? >> absolutely. but that's basically all they have left. they had their opportunity in december. they had republicans over the barrel. they were not going to shut down the government over unemployment insurance. democrats reasoned well, we'll get more sequester relief if we don't go for unemployment now. they kind of gambled with these people's unemployment checks. the problem here is we don't really have a national political system. nationally, this is very popular stuff and locally, it's popular, but people are not going to vote out their individual republican members of congress over this particular issue and a lot of people know that. now, there are some moderates who might face the heat and that's your best chance of getting this through, but broadly, it's got to be tough to move it at this point. >> ryan, thank
